This Early SSD Was WILD

It's still a great idea now even without a battery for caching photo and video editors. I use a RAMDisk for that, but takes up my available RAM.

I think that what the CLX memory expansion do:
https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-com...d-for-trx50-and-w790-workstation-motherboards

Some are pure extra ram when you do not have channel left, some offer persistence, CXL offer coherent memory in a way those did not, so they appear as actual extra ram I think instead of harddrive.
 
Yawn, I had a real ssd (64gb) in 2008. It was a 64gb slc one.
 
Pretty sure OCZ made one of these, but for DDR1? I seem to remember guys trying 2-2-2 stuff to see if it would effect some benchmarks.

Maybe I am trippin.
 
What's insane is modern SSDs can beat DDR2 in nearly all aspects...
 
If you remove the huge latency advantage of the ram by going through the pci-express I imagine so.

CLX is certainly the modern iteration of this.
I can't believe we are moving back to RAM on expansion buses like we did in the 1980s and earlier... the pendulum swings back the other way.
 
Seen this back in the day.
I have a 2x 8GB set of DDR4 3200 laptop RAM sitting around.
Shame there isn't a PCIE card so I could use the set as a RAM cache or boost.
 
If you think this is wild, you should look up the ZeusRAM from STC (Now WD.) We used to use a shitload of them as ZFS ZIL cache, they were the shit at the time. Faster than anything else at the time, but f you looked at them the wrong way they would flake, and then the issues would make you consider suicide.
